LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY – Catskill Mountainkeeper, The Delaware Riverkeeper Network and Earthjustice are sponsoring a free screening of GASLAND, the documentary film by Josh Fox about his personal quest to learn the true effects of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, a method of natural gas drilling.
A resident of Pennsylvania, Mr. Fox was offered a substantial sum of money to sell his property’s drilling rights to a natural gas company. He was told that the drilling would be safe. Mr. Fox then embarked on a 24-state journey to uncover the facts about hydraulic fracturing and interviewed dozens of regular Americans from cowboys to small town mayors to working class men and women. He discovered the tragic and shocking truth that drilling isn’t safe.
Following the screening there will be a question and answer session with Josh Fox and Catskill Mountainkeeper Wes Gillingham.
The event is at 7:00 PM in the Seelig Theatre and is open to the public. Sullivan County Community College is located at 112 College Road in Loch Sheldrake, NY.
